One of Cecil the Lion’s Cubs Was Killed by Another Lion, and the Other Cubs Don’t Stand a Chance

Monday, August 10, 2015

Cecil the Lion's cubs are in danger. Cecil, who was poached and beheaded by an American dentist last month, helped protect his cubs along with his brother Jericho and the pride's lioness. But one of the cubs was killed by another lion in a Zimbabwe national park, the NY Post reports.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association struck a deal with Zimbabwe national leaders to lift the ban on big game hunting that was imposed after Cecil was killed by Minnesota dentist Walter J. Palmer.

Cecil was the leader of his pride, made up of three lionesses and eight cubs, at the time of his slaying by Dr. Walter Palmer in July. Palmer has been in hiding since Cecil’s slaughter was reported.

Without Cecil around, other male lions are likely to kill his cubs and mate with the female cats, experts say.

“One of the eight cubs was killed by a male lion after Cecil was killed,” a source at Hwange National Park told the Sunday Mail newspaper. http://www.sundaymail.co.zw/ “The lionesses fended off his advances but it is unlikely they can continue to protect the cubs for much longer.”

Why do I have a feeling it was the brother that killed the cub.. real life mufasa and scar

eljjai

nope brothers got each other's backs out there,if anything the brother has fled from the territory because he can't defend it alone.

cant even watch Animal Planet in peace. Got the thing in the corner of the screen saying how sorry they are and folks who work that channel talmbout how pisst they are. That damn dentist just done fugged up everything.

SUZANNE SUGERBAKER

more thann likely this is the case. Those other Lions dont want another lions cubs around Cecil or not once your deddy gone you gonna be gone too.

iWasteTime

Damn this Lion on Lion crime

iWasteTime

I did not get to kick it today!
Stoopid work!

Its Me

You not blaming the single lioness mothers Sandra?
?

SUZANNE SUGERBAKER

I mean cause really what type of mother is she to not be out here dying trying to protect her cubs. Just wanna run around the damn jungle and not take care of those cubs. Where her damn momma at.

DYmondgurl

Killing the cubs makes the lioness come into heat faster for the new male

Its Me

Let some other nigga come in and kill her baby.

This bish.

Cecil ain't eem been dead three weeks.

She moving too fast.

Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

True. This happens all the time when either the Alpha Lion loses the territory to another lion or the Alpha dies. Another Lion comes in and kill aaalll the cubs so the lionesses can go into heat and bear his chillen...damn I watch to much Discovery and Animal Planet smh

Teachmeeatme

This is upsetting !!! Why not send the dentist to protect them? #petition

Buttercup

Jericho was killed a week or so after Cecil was.

SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

and its Obama's fault

Miany

All them folk up in arms when Cecil got killed and naan one of em did shii to save these 'cubs'? I am not insensitive I'm just wondering why society is pretending to give two fuggs when we eat, wear and use animals daily....are we to regard ALL animals as highly as Cecil or we just expected to care about him cuz he was the KANG?

Buttercup

Thanks.

Interesting. I just killed this all you can eat seafood platter with 35 mins to spare on my break? Wonder if I too am in heat?

If its not Obama fault....it goes back to her. It's her fault. Got all them other cubs. Probably was on jungle version of welfare.

you probably right too. that's probably how she got on public housing in the first place, claiming Cecil won't working

PettyEyezPrime

Buttercup

His baby mama should've done a better job of choosing her mate. It's Cecil's mama's fault that he didn't have a strong role model because she was too loud-mouthed and unruly.

Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

mmm-hmmm... LOL!

Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

ROFL!

PettyEyezPrime

DDNY

Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

PettyEyezPrime

So Cecil was a pimp, his girl is a welfare hoe and the cubs are in danger cuz they ain't got no daddy and no other male lion tryna wife no lioness with cubs? (no commas)

Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

Mmmhmm

the guest

I know there starving kids all over the world and horrible unjust killings of innocent people but can I just say I can't stand that dentist. What an arrogant entitled evil man. This lion minding its business with new seeds in a sanctuary no less and that evil dentist going to pay someone to lure it for killing. I would never trust that psychopath with anesthesia and dentist tools.

Hmmm~?

Humans of every race die everyday in the US, what's your point :^)?

hottlanta

Future killed the cub. He ain't gonna stand for another lion to be going around the jungle with him in a stroller embarrassing him.

SnootyPooty

So sad... I hope the Cubs are able to survive

Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

tee-hee

Petty_boots

Right? Lol im a day late only because idgaf about the lion. However I did come to read the comments and yes this part got me in tears too. Had to read the chit twice lol.

Why? You know how many animals are poached daily or killed by their own? Are you also mad about #liononlion crime?

Karen Brady

If this ain't the funniest ish someone has ever said on here!

Karen Brady

LOL!

suganspice68

I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel will go crying again on his show about Cecil's cub being killed like how he cried over Cecil?

Aanelove

Enough about the damn lions! I have heard more about lions than I have heard about the recent job losses in Zim. Pushing unemployment to 98%

Kim Holme

Why have they now lifted the ban it's all down to money and pig ignorance. How many more do they want to kill before all our animals become extinct. It's not a way of life in South Africa it's all over the world that people are against this, can they not ban these psychopathic dickless killer's? Such a bloody shame and shame on people that do not have the time to sign petitions to stop this! What happened to the cubs and Jericho!
